This math topic focuses on comparing the values of different sets of coins, specifically dimes and quarters. It involves determining which set of coins has a greater value and indicating the direction an alligator (used as a symbolic representation in the graphics) should face to "eat" the larger amount. This concept teaches basic comparison skills, using visual aids and engaging characters to make learning about coin values more intuitive and enjoyable for students. Each problem presents two choices of coin totals, and students must decide which is greater.
